Snowmaking Has Begun!

Yep, you read that right… Temperatures cooperated last night and our snowmakers got busy for the first time this season! The forecast calls for cold temps again tonight, and our plans is to continue to make snow at every opportunity.

Has your countdown to the start of the season begun yet? Ours sure has! We’re still aiming for Saturday, November 20 as our opening day, weather and conditions permitting. Lots to do to prep the mountain in advance of that, and we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop.

So… start doing those snow dances, click into those bindings in your living room, whatever it is that you do to get ready, because the season is coming, and it’s coming fast!

Winter Prep Begins…

Well, we may still have this weekend to go with summer operations including the Bike + Hike park and the Golf Course, but we’re already starting to change gears and get ready for the winter season… We’re just shy of a month away from our scheduled opening date of Saturday, November 20, 2010 (weather permitting).

If you're friends with us on Facebook, check out some shots taken yesterday around the mountain of things that are happening to get ready for the season… lift maintenance, terrain park feature maintenance, snow cat maintenance, and even snowmaking prep!

Winter Weather on the Way!

Well friends, the summer sure wrapped up quick! Fall is upon us, and the weather has changed dramatically from this time last week. All of the forecasts we’ve seen so far are pointing to this being a La Nina winter that could be very coooold!

If you want to stay on top of the weather forecast, be sure to check out B.A.’s Tahoe Weather Discussion. He’s been posting more frequently as the weather has been changing and we’re getting closer to the start of the season.

So… when are we gonna start skiing and riding you ask? Well, we’re shooting for Saturday, November 20, 2010, weather and conditions permitting. Stay tuned, and get your gear tuned, waxed and ready to go!

Oh, and if you haven’t figured out your pass yet, don’t worry, it’s not too late. Double Whammy Season Passes are still available and start at just $419 for access to your two favorite mountains – Northstar and Sierra-at-Tahoe Resorts!
